The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon "Seven" has an equally opaque purple color with soaring aromatics of blueberry liqueur intermixed with blackberries and acacia flowers. Some cassis is present as well. Tannic and structured and possibly as deep as the previous wine this will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and keep for two decades or more. Both are impressive Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignons that are pure rich full-bodied and authoritative. They are among the top Spring Mountain Cabernets I tasted in this vintage.

Deep dark purple almost black in the glass. Blackberry and cassis are displayed on the nose with secondary notes of limestone violet and mint. The tannins are big and firm as expected from a young Spring Mountain cabernet but not overpowering and there is still a pleasant lushness and approachability to the wine. The dark fruit carries through a long high-toned finish and lingers for quite some time on the palate. This is ready to drink now once decanted and it will be even better in another 3-5 years.
